Brown House Hotel by Blu Monkey - SHA Extra Plus

A very nice, almost boutique style, mid sized hotel. Set in large grounds fronting a small lake, it's quiet and secluded, both a positive and negative. Room was very large, with a large comfortable bed and a chaise lounge for relaxing. Though a 2 person room, could easily accommodate a 3rd. Breakfast was fine, if not a little thai centric. Better than many other hotels of similar ranking. Though not sampled, the restaurant and bar looked to have a good selection of dishes and beveridges to suit most tastes.

The negative to the location is that you have to navigate through a number of tiny sois to get there. Getting into town is quickest across a difficult busy intersection with no traffic lights, so long way around often easier. 2 very minor issues. The water supply uses a pump, which had difficulty maintaining pressure in the shower. Maybe too small for the purpose? Though eggs and sausage were available for breakfast, there were no baine maries, so were cold. Cold fried eggs are not that appetising.

Feels like a luxury hotel for the price of a budget accommodation. We were really content with this choice. Within Udon Thani a good, quiet location, with a rather pleasant view. The room was very comfortable, no complaints. Good breakfast buffet even though at the upper end of the price range compared to what they offered (we hadn't booked breakfast in advance so we decided to book it on addition after first having a look first on the buffet in the morning).

For the high quality coffee from the machine at the breakfast buffet they wanted to charge us a considerable extra amount. Included in the breakfast was only filter coffee from the pot (on the first day), and even just hot water and instant powder on the second day. Since the breakfast was not cheap (in relation to the rather cheap price for the luxury room), this was somewhat annoying.

Room # 301 ~ 1 x Night with Breakfast ~ Booked via Booking.Com Our 2nd stay here ( 1st stay was pre-covid time ) Early check in was much appreciated. Everything in the room was working and the bed very large and very soft with lovely large pillows. The hotel is situated in an extremely quiet location - it's very peaceful here. Breakfast was a relaxed and Yummy experience - Eggs cooked how you want. We will rebook and come and stay again when we find ourselves back up this way.... Keep up the good work - Blu Monkey Brown House staff.....

Very clean older hotel with a tranquil setting overlooking a small lake near the center of Udon Thani. Decent sized room with a balcony and comfortable furniture

Location was remote despite being so close to the city center. Without a car you would fee trapped at the hotel with little amenities other than a walkable local Thai buffet restaurant.

Brown House has always been one of the places I would stay. the breakfast is always good. the rooms are clean, and the staff is very pleasant.

They removed the pool. That was one of the highlights of the property. Unfortunately that is one thing I always look for in Thailand. I didn’t know they removed it.

nice and quiet

they wanted to charge for every little service…$150 baht for me to use a bottle opener to open a bottle of my own wine..I understand a charge but that is outrageous

Brown House is simple yet homely. It is well kept and the staff are exceptionally kind and helpful without being overbearing. Everything Brown House does, it does well. I will most definitely be visiting again.

I love everything such as the beautiful view of the lake, spacious room, supportive staffs, soft bed, soft pillows, clean sheets, good shower, etc.

None

Very charming and rustic feel with beautiful view over the lake

My shower had no hot water. I was woke up early from the noise of the goats in the garden.

Peaceful and quiet location, but very near town centre. Great bar with cocktails and international craft beers. Food was great.

Having to leave.
